    Real alpha males don’t exist. The study on wolves having alphas have been proven wrong my most.othet subsequent studies.

      Well…

      Alpha wolves definitely don’t exists, but there is support for “alpha” behaviour in primates, particularly chimpanzees.

      “Alpha” is still a stupid and harmful idea, but it’s not without precedent.

        They also found in other chimpanzees that alphas don’t exist. I think we are both in agreement that it’s a stupid construct to apply to humans though.
